Choada_Boy Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Glad you didn't die on the glacier. I was thumbing through Red Fred the other day and found the approach beta I'd jotted down for myself: 1) Get flat tire on wrong logging road 2) Lose second canopy off of Mike's truck in the same spot as the first canopy. 3) Tree bear cub and run away, uphill, with packs. 4) Hike past airliner crash debris and memorial site to set tone. 5) Traverse bare glacier remnant without crampons while using nut tool and rock combo for self-arrest. 6) Rappel from slung avalanche debris into avalanche path. 7) Run under active serac. 8) Start climb. It's that easy! Also, pay your respects to the "Bone Cairn" in the grotto if you have time. Pretty powerful mojo in there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
